Front pads query
 

Hi All! another question...have removed front very worn pads ,- one had even started eating into the backing plate 😱, and each pad has these 2 metal plates fitted ,- the slotted one closest to the pad ,-
the replacement pads from EBC don't have these included. Can anyone tell me what they're for and should I clean 'em up and fit 'em to the new pads,?
Thanks for your advice!

They're your anti squeal shims, quick wipe off and put them back.....if they will fit

as above they are part of the std caliper arrangement and should be re-fitted........
the likes of EBC may have a 'bonded' shim on the rear ion which case there may not physically be room for the extra shims in which case put in a safe place.......
